the hotel was on a large property with lush gardens and quaint cottages for rooms that allowed ample space for guests to still enjoy their vacation without being on top of each other. the common areas were also spacious and simply designed to allow the island to shine as naturally as possible. We had intially booked a room with one queen and one twin bed but since we arrived at the beginning of the season, the hotel wasn't as full so they gave us a small cottage closer to the beach that had one queen bed. We inquired about this and the reception was willing to switch us to a room with twin beds but those cottages were quite a distance from the beach and the room wasn't bigger. They advised us the room we booked wasn't available as of yet. As we were friends who were travelling, we had to make do sharing a queen bed but it wasn't too bad to share. The staff were friendly and the breakfasts were great. they also had staff who were entertainment people who facilitated evening activities that brought guests together for good times and connection. The beaches are pristine and naturally exquisite. There are several locals who make a living offering tourist excursions and will approach people for sales but a firm no will get them to enjoy your beach time peacefully. There are multiple local restaurants and bars along the beach where one can enjoy the local scene as well. We were two women friends and we felt safe to walk around the villages and the most that happened was locals saying a hello as we passed by. We walked through the villages for 20mins to the turtle sanctuary and back and no one bothered us. I love Zanzi, this was my third visit and I plan on being back soon. As a fellow East AFrican from Ethiopia, I feel safe and amongst my people in this stunning island.

The staff was amazing and really made sure, that we have everything that we need.
Since the hotel on the pictures is currently under renovation, we got a room in the Canary Nungwi Hotel with a free room upgrade and free 60 minutes massage for each one of us.
It would be better to place some information in the Booking.com description, that the hotel is a different one, but they really cared well for us at the other hotel, it was a great stay and they definitely made it up for that small confusion.
They also let us stay a bit longer on our last day and gave us a different room, such that we could shower once more before heading to the airport in the late afternoon.

on the beach, expect constant stalking and harassment on a whole new level (and i've been to 70 countries including 7 other countries in Africa)
people will rudely interrupt your conversations or meddle even when you tend to children in case to offer their (sometimes illegal) goods or services, and become angry if ignored, or just keep standing/walking next to you, sometimes in groups, sometimes to the hotel door or whatever other destination, trying to imitate your language all the while
if you talk back to them and allow them to tag along, they will demand money for their time/effort afterwards
so definitely not recommended for families with kids, and generally you have to be tough to be able to enjoy the (very dirty) beach despite all this

Nungwi is probaly the nicest beach in Zanzibar.
Nungwi is probaly the nicest beach in Zanzibar. Its not overcrowded and yet has enough restaurants and bars. Alway take care when walking along the beach, when you try to return you might not be able to due to high and low tide. Also visting and eating at the fish food market is a must, tgey have daily fresh fish and seafood and tge prices are affordable

The beach and the resorts are beautiful. People are amazing!
This situation with the Masai though its literally unbearable.
They don't know when to stop bothering you.
I am there to enjoy the sun and the beach not to be harassed by them, after I kindly explained that I don't wish to talk, have a good day, they literally follow me and don't leave me alone.
This ruined my whole experience!! Every second, every single day.

Nungwi used to be a small fishersmen's town, but it is now buzzing with bars, hotels and restaurants and lots of activities to do. If you want to go on a snorkeling trip, or have other fun activities. Then this is your spot. I appreciated the beautiful ful of the ocean - with the clear blue waters and the fishermen working.

What i liked most is the Staff who were very caring especially when my daughter fell ill there did their best to help her. Food and ambience were just great not forgetting about the friendly owners, I would definately recommend a friend of even family members at your property, I have nothing to complain of.
This place was so wonderful to stay at! The owner was so gracious with us arriving late and made us feel very welcomed. The breakfast that was included in our stay was better than most restaurants and such a nice addition to our stay as well. It is steps away from the beach where we could see a beautiful sunset and tons of shopping for souvenirs :) I would definitely come back here in a heart beat and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to stay in a cozy comfortable and welcoming spot while on the North side of Zanzibar.
As a first time in Zanzibar, with Amaan Beach Bungalows, it has been easy for us to like everyone and everything there and around. People were so humble starting from security guys till the chefs everyone said HI or Pole Pole with a smile on their face, it's gave us the feeling being safe. The food was decent, and drinks were as well. They have a beautiful beach with white sand and blue water around. Almost every single night has been a show with different thematics, which was lovely. Thanks for everything, guys. HAKUNA MATATA
The beachfront location of Aman Beach Bangalore in Zanzibar was undeniably its highlight. Walking along the shore, feeling the soft sand beneath our feet, and watching the waves roll in provided moments of tranquility and serenity.
The calming sound of the ocean waves and the refreshing sea breeze offered a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Despite the hotel's shortcomings, the natural beauty of the beach served as a redeeming factor, providing opportunities for relaxation and rejuvenation.
We stayed at Dantes for two weeks and everything was awesome. Breakfast was very delicious and satisfying ( that pancakeee :), I am a serious coffee addict and I remember being so happy when I found Nespresso coffee here).
Frankly, Before coming to the island, I had some hesitations about the food, but guys, the hotel's food is really successful. 2 chefs work at the hotel and they cook incredibly delicious food.
And the hotel is very close to the most famous nungwi beach. We will definitely come again.
One of best choices i have made for staying. The breakfast was always served great and it was just a few steps from beautiful Nungwi beach. The locations can not be better, with exceptional view of the sea and near from restaurants and beach bars. The staff were always willing to help with anything i needed and the owners are just exceptional. They were always available to advice on tour trips, money exchange, security and all i wanted to ask. Definitely recommended for this Zanzibar experience!
Fantastic beach right outside of property. Great pool area with swim up bar. The gardens are lush and well taken care of. Good selection of drinks and food at restaurant. Staff were incredibly friendly and felt very secure with on site 24/7 security. Not that you need this but it felt very secure, that you could leave your belongings to go swim in the sea for example. Definitely recommend eating at the seafood restaurant - one of the best food experiences during our time in Zanzibar.
Ee had an amazing stay in Zanzibarstar Resort- we booked last minute and we couldn’t be happier. the rooms are nice and freshly renovated, everything is clean and we had everything we needed. we enjoyed our day on the 2 pools and the beach is only in a few meters distance. The staff been friendly and helped us to organize with the Airtport pick up and Snorkeling Tour.Especially Calvin the manager , made sure we had everything. We can definitely recommend it and will be back.
Simple, chill hotel in the Nungwi village, just a few minutes walk from the beach. It offers regular rooms as well as dorms, great breakfast, a small swimming pool and all the services you would expect. A full restaurant and a bigger swimming pool are available in the sister hotel right next door. We stayed for a week and wouldn't have minded staying longer . The staff are the nicest people you could wish for and made us feel right at home.
Great architecture, great location, super clean.
Breakfast was very delicious and satisfying ( that pancakeee :), I am a serious coffee addict and they have various coffee selection.
Before coming to Zanzibar, I had some question on my mind about the food, but the hotel's food is really successful. The hotel has 2 chefs and they do great job.
And the hotel is very close to the most famous nungwi beach. We will definitely come again.
if you are departing late they offer you a bonus serves where they offer you to book a room for 30 minutes with a shower and a changing room before you leave the hotel if you don’t want to pay for extending the room check out time. Also after you check out, they still allow you to use all the hotel facilities (beach, pools, restaurants, bars and all whatever you get in the all inclusive pack)
Before our arrival we arranged all tours around Zanzibar with hotel , everything went well. Dolphine tour was amazing. Hotel is small but so cozy , you have everything you need. cool and friendly staff. too close to the main beach. exchange office is next door and shops for gifts. in the bar they play 70' and 90' rock songs which is big plus for me.
Wonderfull beach, calm and peaceful accomodation.
From our arrive till departure the recepcionist Shaafi was carrying about our comfortable stay. He was very helpfull and did everything to solve our stomach problems.
In Zanzibar we stayed in 5 different places but Zava was mainly thanks Shaafis attitude the best one.
Lovely oasis with fantastic staff who made us feel like family! We loved the jungle-like pool area and the location. Just a few minutes walk to the beach, restaurants and bars. Spacious room with AC and great water pressure. Delcious breakfast and without doubt the best coffee in Zanzibar. Great value!
Great pool and beach access. Our beach I thought was better compared to Riu Jambo and Zuri Zanzibar next door. The tides were not a big deal at all (? maybe time of the year). Good restaurants and customer service. You do have access to all Riu Jambo facilities.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING ! THE ROOM WAS GOOD AND THE FOOD PERFECT. THANKS TO AGUSTINO FOR ALL THE ADVICE FOR THE HOLLIDAY IN ZANZIBAR, AND ALL THE STAFF WHO TREAT US LIKE PRINCESS. WE WILL RETURN AT THIS HOTEL FOR SUR NEXT YEAR. THEN BEACH IS IN 1 MINUTE
The location is excellent. 3 minutes from the most beautiful beach and activities in Zanzibar. The guest house has an exotic and calm vibe.The staff helps you with everything, the food is great , I have no words. I am sure I’m comming back. Thank you
Great location, a few seconds walk from the beach. Clean rooms, attentive staff and amazing and well priced food and fresh seafood!
